ParticipantThe source for the prediction (FISERV) in the article predicted a 1.3% decline from April 2007 to April 2008, per the link below.
How did they do ?
The San Diego market declined by ~ 20% in the ensuing 12 months. The average decline PER MONTH was about equal to their precited annual decline.
They published their prediction on the cusp of the most precipitous 18-month decline in San Diego history and completely missed it … by more than an order of magnitude.Why should we put any weight on their current predictions ?

ParticipantI don’t see any reason to ban people (other than for spam, criminal activity, or advertising).
It’s actually pretty easy to ignore people’s posts if you want to.

Participant[quote=NewtoSanDiego]
There’s too much group think on this site. I think that many people are convinced that renting is always the best solution. Depending on your stage in life and financial circumstances, renting may the best solution. Isn’t it a bit valuable to peer into the soul of a landlord? Some of you may call me slumlord. I want people to really look into the pros and especially cons of renting. There are also negatives of buying that all those who bought in 2005 can attest.
I do think that there a large number of landlords out there who negotiate on bad faith or sport, most don’t.

There are plenty of us on this board who have given a landlord’s perspective from time to time without making an ass of ourselves.
